Another Premier League game, another poor showing from Arne Slot’s Liverpool, who suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion.The Reds did have injury problems going into the game, with Alisson and Mohamed Salah missing. But even with Hugo Ekitike also picking up a knock on Saturday, there was no real excuse for another poor display.Defeat against the Seagulls means Liverpool have now matched an unwanted record under Slot for the first time, losing back-to-back away games after being level at the break for the first time since 2022/23.
